To change your official address with Medicare, contact the Social Security Administration. Medicare works with Social Security to maintain address records, even if you receive Medicare but do not receive Social Security benefits.
Ways to update your address
- Use your secure Social Security account if you are eligible to make the change online.
- Call Social Security at 800-772-1213. TTY users can call 800-325-0778.
- Visit a local Social Security office if you need in-person help.
You can update other contact details, such as some phone or email information, through your secure Medicare account. Keep confirmation details after making a change.
Moving can affect other coverage
A move to another county or state may affect Medicare Advantage or Part D plan availability and may create a Special Enrollment Period. Medigap rules and pricing can also depend on your situation and state.
Review the current steps at Medicare.gov and contact your plan before moving if possible.
